Contradiction among religions

Sohaib Sajjad's article on Islam read like poetry, but flowery prose does not resolve obvious contradictions between Muslim and Christian religion. Islam is the church, the legal system and the courts all wrapped up together. Sharia law is the rule of law in the Islam religion. Sharia law and Judeo-Christian law are often in disagreement, particularly in the treatment of women. How do we resolve a Muslim man raping a woman in America if Sharia law does not consider the act a crime? Do we look the other way in an American city if Muslims in another part of town are cutting off hands for theft and stoning people? Can these two sets of laws coexist?

It seems to me that Islam is a "religion of peace" only when there is no other religion to compare or compete with it. In the Quran there is a passage that states that other religions are false and those believers are infidels, less than human. It also says that lying to infidels to advance the cause of Islam is a just and proper thing to do. If true, how can a Christian believe anything a Muslim says? To be blunt Sohaib, how can I believe what you wrote?
